I'm back! Q&A and drawing a dog eye in graphite

[@silentdesertwind]

Just stumbled upon while sketching my little puppy. It's really beautiful and helpful observing the whole work.

[@ChrisR_68]

Hallo Leontine, Prachtig werk en heel leerzaam, volgens mij ben je één van de beste hier op KZbin, ik heb nooit een opleiding gehad maar met je tutorials te bekijken heb ik het laatste jaar al enorm bijgeleerd. Heb heel veel respect voor wat je doet niet alleen het tekenen maar ook het monteren en het maken van deze filmpjes 👍 kost tijd. Ik ben geen kunstenaar, maar het heeft me zoveel rust in deze heel drukke en stres volle wereld. Bedankt, en laat de tutorials maar komen. Johan

[@debrayoung7728]

Sooo glad your back, love watching you on KZbin. I have learned a lot watching your videos

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Thank you!:D

Thank you so much for answering my question! They're great tips and I was actually already timing how many hours go into a portrait of mine. So far about half of the dog took me a little over 5 hours and I charge 35€ to keep people interested. Your art always inspires me to learn more so I thank you for that

[@lizziedae91]

Thanks for answering my questions Leontine! I also went through multiple sharpeners until i found the holy grail, mitsubishi kh-20 manual crank sharpener, i think it was about 20 USD on amazon. You’ll never need another sharpener & they sharpen luminance pencils like a dream which is hard to find. Beautiful drawing! So glad you’re back!

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Oh thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to see if I can get it here in Holland!

[@Annesrock]

Good to see you again! Whenever your ready studio tour would be nice!

[@yoniverbugt7075]

Perhaps a live stream? I loved your previous ones!

It's beautiful ...... I will try it 🙂

[@alyssadeniceagustin3160]

Hi 👋 can you give suggestions of what pencils would do for beginners of drwing 🙂

[@jcepri]

I LOVE your videos. You have a great teaching style. I just have a quick question. Can you tell me how you avoid that graphite sheen that happens when using dark pencils for very dark areas such as the pupils. I find that it's nearly impossible to avoid no matter how delicately I build up the layers. Have you tried using charcoal for the darkest areas as a way of avoiding shine? Thanks!

[@yesseniaorozco6008]

ayyyyyy thats so cute ima try it ight bet

[@planetofpomeranians5255]

Very nice!❤

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Thank you!

[@nixsuperstar1]

Also do you switch between the different softness of the pencils often?

[@lmlf8244]

Yeeeeaaaarrrr you’re back !

[@Glacenair]

Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer all my questions as your 'last question' haha

[@TheArtAcademy1]

Awesome 👁 drawing ✍️

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Thank you!:D

[@nixsuperstar1]

Beautiful photo. What do you use to make the white reflection very white? Is that the gel pen?

[@beaniebootwilight]

Its beautiful!❤

[@elizabethcooper8745]

Hello! Your videos are so helpful. I was wondering about your feelings towards working off reference photos that aren't the best. For example the eyes on the dog have a high glow from flash, or the flash causing strange contrasts on fur colors, or the picture is not very sharp and slightly blurred. What sort of tips do you have for working off of refrence photos like that in general

[@khawajahumza8278]

Very helpful Q&A vdo 👍 please draw a lion's face and paw with graphite

Where do you sell you paintings (what website?)

[@Leontinevanvliet]

I have the most recent works listed on www.leontinevanvliet.com/wildlife.html But you can also find some older ones on www.etsy.com/shop/LeontinevanVlietArt :)

[@roxiregas4762]

Thank you your art is just amazing

[@denisedoodles]

The live streams that you did around Christmas were so fun. How about more live streams!?!

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Yeah I loved those! Hopefully in the next couple of months I can find some free time to do them again:)

[@ricanryker6441]

Why don't you use a stylus indentation tool for fur?

[@Leontinevanvliet]

Sometimes I do, only when I see bright white whiskers for instance. In regular fur I prefer to use just pencils:)

[@pinkpanther1234]

Do you draw that dog a ful version

[@Leontinevanvliet]

No I only drew the eye for this one:)

I watched your eye tutorial. I'd rather see an Instructional slower... hi speed without explanations of the process isn't helpful for me. you are very gifted
